Everton v Swansea. 1st Nov at 15.00.

Worst thing about that was that the flow of the game didn't change at all once they went down to 10 men. We didn't look any more threatening with a man up.

That's because they already had 9 behind the ball. Didn't change the shape at all, just one less attacker to stand and do nothing while we had the ball.

Frustrating watching our lack of movement and creativity in the final third. The buildup is the same over and over - pass left to right to left to right hoping to get the ball wide and into the box.

Today is a good example of why we wont get top four, cant break down an average swansea side at home. 2 points lost.

much of that is down to swansea just chucking men behind the bal, alot harder to break down. Possibly been easier against 11, maybe roberto could of changed it to 2 up top after the red.

we have problems

dont let some individual displays confuse you, if we stay in the europa league we might be lucky to finish 8th

Cracking game. Ross had a great game, wonderful control and vision; inch perfect passing. Swansea were chasing shadows. Baines with some excellent corners for a change, really whipping them in on a six-pence. McGeady was dog turd as usual but still, we bossed that from start to finish.

Well played everton.

Eto'o is not a right winger- he played through the middle last week- what was Martinez thinking?!!!

It was a cowardly decision to leave him on.

The changes should have been Eto'o and Naismith off for Lukaku and Pienaar.

Yeah,just wish we would actually take a chance and shoot once in a while

 

[gianthogweed]

toothless up front can't even remember their goalkeeper making a real save getting a bit bored with the sideways passing
didn't even bother watching the end of the game it was too predictable

Way to play for a tie Barkley. bravo on taking it to the corner.

glad this game is over.

 

[IRO1977]

Ah well, frustrated but just one of those days. Bony should clearly have been off just after half time. Hate Gary Monk, he looks like he could be H from Steps' father

 

[JAYTALITY]

Why do I feel Everton are at a disadvantage when a team goes down to ten men? It doesn't happen.much but when.it does.I get a bad feeling every time.

 

[faddy the blue]

Lukaku and Pienaar still not 100%. We're one injury away to the defense to be in shambles. Martinez needs to come up with a plan B cos he had none today. This patient build up blew in our face today. Needed to put the ball in the box today in the end via crosses to put some pressure in rather than playing every player out of position. 2 massive points dropped cos I can easily see us going down at Sunderland next.

Swansea are really nothing special at the back and they've dealt with us fairly comfortably there. Very disappointing performance from our attackers.

Ross needs to play behind the striker, not Naismith.
